Trim function encoding

Some Schiffli machines are equipped with trimmers. They may understand specific ‘Trim’ codes but generally these are encoded as ‘Jumps’. As part of the machine format, you can specify the number to be interpreted as a Trim.

With Output Trims selected, Trim functions are interpreted in the design as the specified number of Jumps. The default value is one (1). Adjust the number of consecutive Jumps as required. If you change the number of Jumps triggering a Trim on the machine, make sure you also change it in the software.

Mechanical Schiffli machines have no trimmers. Thus the thread remains connected to the last stitch during the boring phase. If you deselect the Output trims checkbox, the Trim functions are not removed from the EMB design but simply ignored for the selected machine format. However, Jumps may be removed.

Tip: In ES Schiffli, jump stitches are assumed to be present only for stitches that will be trimmed. To hide them in TrueView™ display, they must be encoded as Trims. Thus, if you want a realistic view of the design as it would appear after manual trimming, Output Trims must be selected and the number of Jumps set to one.
